1- Headcount and cost monitoring

The Orgvue monitoring capability is our out-of-the-box solution for monitoring your organization’s key metrics. With dashboards, interactive org charts, and visualizations, you’ll have a complete picture of your business at any moment.


It allows you to easily visualize changes, understand where it’s happening, and why.

  • Visualize net change in the workforce by month: Understand which areas are experiencing change, helping you make strategic decisions
  • See headcount and cost impacts on the business: View the effects of hiring or movement by department or cost center, allowing you to manage resources effectively
  • Analyze organizational shifts by verticals: Break down changes by country, department, job family, or pay grade, so you can pinpoint the source of any significant changes

2- Advanced tracking

For organizations that require deeper insights, Advanced Tracking offers enhanced capabilities. Building on Orgvue’s monitoring capability, it enables you to track progress against targets, forecasts, and strategic goals. It provides a way to measure performance, identify deviations, and take action where needed, helping you stay on course and make informed decisions.

  • Track your progress against key targets and budgets: Automatically compare actuals with your planned outcomes to identify variances and determine where adjustments are necessary
  • Forecast future state and their impacts: Use data-driven forecasts to understand how upcoming changes will affect your headcount, costs, and overall strategy.
  • Drill down into detailed breakdowns: Analyze headcount and cost trends by month, quarter, or year to uncover the specific areas and reasons behind deviations.
  • Visualize historic workforce trends: Review headcount and cost data to identify patterns and anticipate future challenges, helping you prioritize actions.
  • Course-correct based on data: Gain insight into under- or over-budget areas, and make real-time adjustments to hiring, spending, or resource allocation to keep your organization on track
